Hyunjun Yang, born in the Korea Republic on the 25th of May, 2002, currently serves as a forward for Celtic Football Club. Standing relatively tall at 5 feet and 10 inches (1.79m), he is a right winger with a weight of approximately 10 stone 12 pounds (69kg). This particularly athletic player represents Celtic with the number 13 emblazoned across his jersey.
As per recent valuations from Transfermarkt, Yang's market value is estimated to be in the region of £1.7 million. Embarked on his journey with Celtic in July 2023, his contract will reach its pull date on the 31st of May, 2028, after a tenure of 3 years and 6 months.
Before joining Celtic, Yang's career saw him play in the K League 1 for Gangwon FC. Yang commenced this association in January of 2021. On his debut that season, he was put into play nine times during league matches, which paved the way for more prominent presence in later seasons. By 2022, Yang took the field 36 times, scoring eight goals. However, in 2023 his contribution seemed to slightly recede, with 21 appearances and just one goal.
Seeking pastures new, Yang embarked on a fresh journey with Celtic in Scotland, moving from Gangwon FC in a transfer worth roughly £2.2 million. Seeing the pitch 24 times during the 2023-2024 season, Yang managed to score only once. However, he has remained a consistent presence in the 2024-2025 season with eight appearances so far.
Apart from the national league, Yang's contributions extended to Champions League 2023-2024, where he was pushed into the limelight twice as a starter and twice as a substitute. Yang also played twice as a substitute in the League Cup 2024-2025 and thrice in the Champions League of the same year for the Hoops. This narrative paints a fairly promising picture of this East Asian footballer, who is still forging his Celtic legacy.
